THE OLD FELLOW CAVES.

The fellow who gives the orders
about the Forest National Office kicked
splAshed and "kerAummixed" around
last week like a mullet that had been
hit on the head with bludgeon. He
seemed for once to thoroughly realize
that he was hit, but just who or what
the devil it was that hit him didn't
seem to penetrate bis skull, So he struck
back 6rst at this one, then at that one,
and finally winds up with a slash al
jury fixing, and would give The i'm.
preston to the country that Forest
County cannot produce an honest jury
1t is indeed sad that our community
should be hampered with an iudIvidual
whe, to gain trifing selfish end.
would offer such damnable insult to
the intelligence and decency of the
honorable gentlemen whoare quarterly
called hither, (many against their wild
as jurors. Had be offered an apology
for the Jury Commissio ners for draw
ing at the recent court, fellow from
Tionests Borough so contemptibly
mean that no one would dare allow
him to sit on case, there would have
been some sense to his TRADE, although
it might have been trife personal
Among his ravings we find the f,l
lowing dead give.away: "As tbe writer
Of the pusillsnimous article in the
REPUBLICAN Identifies himself with the
gang who industriously worked little
scheme st the late sessions of court To
defeat the ends of justice, by prejudic
ing jurors and witnesses with the silly
falsehOOd that Kepler was a secret
prosecutor iu case," &c. And 81 he
has come to admit that the mere men
tion of his name in connection with q
certain thing is sufficient to kill it.
Well, such thing was never dreamed
Of that We are aware of, hut we'd be
crowded mighty cluse Cor some hole 10
crawl out Of before making such
damaging admission.
But all these are only side issues.
What's gripping the fellow, as We once
said, il the little matter of county
printing, and, by the.wsy, we observe
that he has all at once come ~ the
conclusion that that subject should he
dropped. What going TO let the
dear Taxpayers" for whose wrongs
you have SIZED so many crocodile tears
because you didn't get the county
printing; going to let them hue their
own row nowiWell, that's sad enough !:
and all because "a number ofiax paw.
srs have appealed" &c, etc. 1t was
our intention to allow that matter tn
pass unnOticed, but since you have
made 1t point To bring il out e,
prominently, may We not ask if that is
not another of your eases. aud did vow
not instigate the appeal2
What puzzles ms is to think thatihis
fellow did not kick on printing s1pen
ses when they amounted to nearly
double what they do now. and espec
tally during the past year, when the
said expenses are less than they were
ever before known tn he by cansilera
bic. But why 60 further with this
matter? There is not man in Forest
county who does not know ar a dead
certainty that Kepler wonld gulp
down the county printing if it were
ten times as much end no nne would
hear q solitary sob from that source
But for one who pretends To have 81
much wealth as he claims. we never
saw a fellow that could do more
whining or begging for mere taste

Where it Grinds the Editor.

'Tell me, Aristarchus, tell me, by the
shield of Pallas Athene, what find you in the
exchanges this day that you briskly apply
your never to be satiated and early devouring
shears"
"Of truth, o Mnestheus, the times go hard,
for neither on the all laundering editorial
pages, nor in the columns Of the argus eyed
local reporters, nor yet even in the from
everywhere selected miscellany can l find
matter worthy to be culled for our all per
vading sheet. And, by the gods immortal, l
do esteem it to be cruel fortune that at this
time, when news is scarce and advertising
slow, it is required of me to bring to the altar
of the remorseless printers fresh and plenteous
hecatombs of reprint"
"You speak true things, o Aristarchus,

A Crime BY Telephone.

A prominent young unmarried physician
in West Nashville is said to be on the war
path, or words to that effect, as regards a
certain fiend who broke into his slumbers a
few nights since. 1t was about 2 O'Clock
in the morning, and gery cold, when, in his
dreams, he thought he was in Baltimore on
Sunday morning, while the bells were ring
ing with all their might from every one of the
hundred steeples so near together. But grad
uaIly the City of Many Churches faded away,
and he came to the consciousness that the tele-
phone had been rafting for about five
minutes Jumping from his bed, with the
eager expectation always attendant on a
sudden call, the doctor rushed, with bare feet,
over the cold floor and shivering yelled out,
"Hello."
"HelIo, doctor! Have you got any instru-
ments, or are you prepared to dress the
wounds of man whe has been cut all to
pieces with a hatchetp
''Oh, yes! oh, yes!" quickly responded the
physician, as visions of his favorite practice
came to his mind, "where is the, -
@All right doctor, 1 am much obliged. If
I come across a man cut to pieces by Ratchet
between now and daylight, I'll let you know.
The doctor hasn't found the fiend who
telephoned him, neither has he found man
cut up by a hatchet.-Nashville American.

He KNEW The meaning of Cards.


Our preacher has got about as many eyes
in his head as anybody, and as he sat near my
secretary his fingers meanoered TO deck OF
beautiful cards that the girls forgot 10 hide,
and as he shuff1ed them careleSsly In his hand
he exclaimed: "Well, this is an age OF pictures
l never saw so many, and some OF them are
too lovely for anything; but these are differ
ent from any l have seen What are these
for, young ladies" l saw their cunning en-
barrassment and came to their relief. Those
are my lecture tickets, said L. "Oh, yes, Isee!'
said he: "this one with five spots admits a
family of five, and this one with ten spots
family of ten" Exactly So" said l, "and
those with pictures are cOmplmentarles for
the preachers" Il understand" said he, "and
SO I will lust take two or three of these home
with me-" and he slipped queen and jack in

minders of many things. There ara four

The spade reminds US that labor is the leading
trump in this worlds affairs; the club that
we must be aggressive and force our way; the
diamond that money is good thing to help,
and the heart that, after all, riches and labor
and force are worth nothing without love.
There are twelve of those picture cards, which
remind us of the twelve months in the year,
and fifty-two cards in the deck, which tell us

a REMARKABLE FEMALE SURGEON
Graduating at the Age of Twenty-six'
She Goes to Egypt.

Graduating at the Age of Twenty-Slx'
She Goes to Egypt.
The death is announced in Cochin China OF
Mime. DR.. Ribart, female surgeon OF re-
markable skill, and whose career was very ex-
traordinar-y. an experience that no other wo-
man has ever had Beginning as a waitress
in a little drinking shop of the Quarter Latin
of Paris, she passed, while still very young,
through the usual experiences OF Parlslan
grisette and became connected with q meol-
cal student who frequented the shop. her IN
stinct was irresistible No sooner did she CONS
in contact with his books and instruments
than she fell upon them and literally devoured
the knowledge they contained. She awaited
herself of his teachings, too, and drew from
him everything be learned, 80 that by the
time she had reached the age of 70 she pre-
sented herself for examination as surgeon,
and passed the ordeal brilliantly and triumph
antly.
She soon recognized the field that lay open
before her in the Egyptian harems, to which
male surgeons were not admitted, and where
women suffered ulspeakable torments for the
lack of proper attendance. At Cairo she speed
ily established a large practice, and had every
prospect of doing well, but her habits of dis
sipatiOn had been formed early, had become
rooted and were uncOnquerable.
Her career of vice ended finally in
Egyptian madhouse, and her sufferings in
that horrible place were as gfeaG as ner eA-
cesses had been After six months of this
severe but saluteIy regimen she recovered
her mind, but never forgave her heartless
and disreputable Levantne friends who had
hastily thrust her out of sight and mind into
the horrors of an insane asylum.
Her career in Egypt was over, but she
coud not return to Europe, and nothing was
left her but the French possessions in Asia
She made her way out to the French colony
in Cochin China. Here her talents and her
beauty, which despite the life she had led il
Egypt and her sllfferings Ill the mad house,
had never failed her, won her instant recogni
ton and she was in great demand among
women. The old queen mother of AMMAN
had been blind for years and hailed with de
light the prospect of relief held out to her by
the French physician. Nine. Ribart died
suddenly the day before the operation was t"
be performed, the result, as supposed, of the
strains upon her health which her Egyptian
experiences had entailed. She was still young
and had prospects of redeeming the past, for
her talents in her difficult profession were
great and undOubted. Probably no Euro
pean woman ever knew so much of the inner
life of the harem in the east and its dark sidr
as this ex grisette York World.
